Like a desperate survivor sailing away from a dangerous, zombie-filled mainland, Variety reports that showrunner Dave Erickson will be departing Fear The Walking Dead after its upcoming third season. Erickson—a former producer on shows like Sons Of Anarchy, Marco Polo, and the short-lived Low Winter Sun—has been helming the AMC spin-off since it shuffled into existence back in 2015.

Erickson’s departure is part of a larger deal he recently negotiated with AMC, which will see him continue to develop shows at the cable network. Network execs praised Erickson (who’ll stay on the Walking Dead spin-off as an executive producer) for his work on the series, but have yet to name his successor.

It's the crossover event zombie lovers have been waiting for.

AMC's popular series The Walking Dead returns for Season 8 on Oct. 22, but fans are really hyped about a crossover with its prequel spinoff Fear the Walking Dead that comic-book creator and series executive producer Robert Kirkman teased Saturday night at New York Comic Con.

“There are two Walking Dead shows. One character is going to go from one show that I will not name and appear on another show that I will not name,” Kirkman said during a Walking Dead panel, according to EW.com.

Kirkman didn't elaborate on how the shows would pull off the feat. The two series take place in different time periods, so flashbacks could be one way to do it.

“Are we going to see an interesting backstory of the Walking Dead character showing up in Fear the Walking Dead?” Kirkman teased during the panel, Vanity Fair reports. “Or are we going to see a Fear the Walking Dead character show up in The Walking Dead, and see a future version of a character? What could happen? Is it going to be something completely different than that?”

Oh, and as for when to expect that crossover: Well, sorry, there are no details available on that yet either.

We'll have to stay tuned.

The cable channel confirmed the crossover plans with a simple tweet with a poster saying "The worlds collide." The tweet read: "This is real. #crossover #TWD #FearTWD"

The character who will crossover between either Fear the Walking Dead or The Walking Dead will be announced on Sunday night's new episode of Talking Dead.

As announced by AMC's Twitter accounts, the "character reveal" will come on November 26 at 10 pm ET during Talking Dead. Of course, the actual reveal may be held until later in the episode which airs until 11 pm ET. As announced at New York Comic Con, one character from either The Walking Dead or Fear the Walking Dead will appear on the other series. Robert Kirkman promises the event will take place in either Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead or Season 9 of The Walking Dead.

With the announcement coming on the heels of the cast and crew of Fear the Walking Dead heading to Austin, Texas in preparation for production of the show's fourth season, the safe bet is that the crossover will take place on Fear the Walking Dead. As noted by Victor Strand actor Colman Domingo, fans of the AMC shows are going to spot actors on set which often reveals spoilers -- meaning the reveal is just in time for an official announcement to take place ahead fans' set photos revealing the news.

Following the announcement, speculation pointed to Michael Cudlitz reprising his Houston, Texas-based Abraham Ford character on Fear the Walking Dead. While Cudlitz says the idea is "awesome," executive producer Greg Nicotero debunked the theory on an episode of ComicBook.com's After the Dead.

Sunday's Episode 8x06 of The Walking Dead is titled, "The King, The Widow, and Rick." The officially synopsis for The King, The Widow, and Rick reads, "With things looking up for Rick and our group, an argument breaks out at the Hilltop. The consequences of the decision are life versus death."

Fear the Walking Dead returns for its fourth season in 2018. The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 pm ET on AMC. For complete coverage and insider info all season long, follow @BrandonDavisBD on Twitter.

The Walking Dead's little zombie brother is starting to walk on its own. AMC has confirmed there will be a Fear The Walking Dead season 5.

AMC made the announcement at the Television Critics Association summer tour, while also confirming new seasons of Better Call Saul and McMafia.

Like Better Call Saul, the most recent season of Fear The Walking Dead hasn't even finished yet. The first half of season 4 ended on 10th June, with the explosive finale "No One's Gone." The second half of the season will begin on 12th August in the US.

It's been a tumultuous year for Fear The Walking Dead. This season saw the arrival of Morgan Jones (played by Lennie James) from The Walking Dead universe's flagship show. The show then made numerous other high profile additions to the cast including Garret Dillahunt, Maggie Grace and Jenna Elfman.

To thin out the crowd after all the new arrivals, Fear The Walking Dead killed two characters who had been around since day one: Madison (Kim Dickens) and Nick (Frank Dillane). The violent, unpredictable world of the zombie apocalypse in The Walking Dead has always meant that the shows can call for a mass upheaval of the cast whenever they'd like but Fear The Walking Dead season 4 was the first time either it or The Walking Dead had tried it in such a systematic fashion. The effect has been at least intriguing enough for AMC to roll the dice on season 5.

Fear The Walking Dead is showrun by Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg. Angela Kang will take over for The Walking Dead in season 9. Previous Walking Dead showrunner Scott Gimple is now overseeing the entire franchise. That could mean for crossovers or synergy between the two shows in future years.

More as we have it.
